<\/a><\/p>\nYeah, I know a cheap spoof off of the series. Then came an interesting question into my mind. WHO? Who are we supposed to Outwit? Outplay? Outlast? It, in my opinion is not Who. It is what. It is the marketplace.<\/p>\n
Sometimes when times are tough our character comes out as we lash out. We let ourselves think that other REALTORS in our market are our competition. We try to Outwit. Outplay and Outlast them. Bloggers do the same. So do SEO folks. (I claim citizenship in all three of those countries…and each is the same iin this regard.)<\/p>\n
One of the things that I enjoyed most on my trip to Canada was that everyone was willing to share ideas and help each other. The synergy I found shored up my belief that by finding those that are trustworthy and sharing with them, one can survive difficult times more easily. The arena of ideas in blogging is a big place. So is the real estate marketplace. SEO likewise.<\/p>\n
